The study of aldol condensation of ketones using zoelites as catalysts

In this investigation, zeolites HZSM-5 (Si/Al: 22), HZSM-5 (Si/A: 45), H-Beta and H-USY were evaluated as catalysts for aldol condensation reactions of acetone and cyclohexanone and the results compared with those using H₂SO₄. Cross-aldol condensation reactions of acetone and benzaldehyde were also performed.
